And without recognition from powerful European nations, the young country would never have assumed an independent status \"amongst the powers of the earth.\" This collection of essays not only offers new glimpses into the ways in which various European powers and actors enabled American patriots to fight and win the war, it also highlights the American Revolution’s short- and long-term impact on the Atlantic world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of the strength of European support, Great Britain found itself diplomatically isolated, without an ally in a war that had become a global conflict, and with a navy outnumbered by the combined fleets of America’s friends. This volume is a timely reminder of the importance of international support for the winning of American independence and the global context of the American Revolution as we approach its 250th anniversary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Olivier Chaline, Sorbonne Université   Robert Rhodes Crout, College of Charleston   Kathleen DuVal, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill   Victor Enthoven, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam   Paul A.
